Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Nov. 11, 11919.

Application filed July 7, 1919. Serial No. 309,112.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRANCIS M. Moreen, a citizen of the United States,residing in the city and county of San Francisco and ,State ofCalifornia, have invented certain which are common with elderly people,are

eliminated.

The device is adapted for daily use and is capable of adjustment to fitthe head of any person, the same consisting preferably of a member whichis passed over the head with its terminal ends lying adjacent the cheeksimmediately in front of the ears and beneath the head dress, saidterminal portions being adhesively secured or attached to the chee s,whereby when the slack in the support is taken up, the flesh on oppositesides of the face will be slightly raised.

With the above mentioned and other objects in view, the inventionconsists in the novel construction and combination of parts hereinafterdescribed, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and pointed out inthe claims hereto appended; it being understood that various changes inthe form, proportion, size and minor details of construction within thescope of the claims may be resorted to without departing from the spiritor sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention.

To more fully comprehend the invention, reference is directed to theaccompanying drawings, wherein Figure 1 is a View of'the appliance inuse.

Fig. 2 is a view in plan of the appliance with the parts thereofassembled.

Fig. 3 is a view in side elevation.

Fig. 4 is a view in detail of the adjusting means.

Referring more particularly to the drawings, wherein like characters ofreference designate corresponding parts, '1 indicates a su port of anysuitable material, either fabric -or thin metal, and if constructed ofmetal, the same is bent to semi-circular form in plan and is adapted forpositioning over the head with the terminal ends thereof lying at pointspreferably adjacent the temples. The support 1 is adapted for wearingeither during the day, at which time it is concealed beneath the headdress, or at night, over the hair.

To the ends. of the support, illustrated in Flg. l, are secured, in anysuitable manner, the adjustable clamps 2 of any well known construction,preferably-that type commonly employed in retaining tie pins withinties, the sameconsisting preferably of a tubular outer shell 3 and atubular inner shell 4, the inner shell carrying the clamping balls 5,which ride on the beveled surface 6 of the outer Shell 3, said ballsbeing normally maintained in frictional contact with the beveled surfaceby the spring 7- cooperating with the shells 3 and 4.

Suitable tabs or flaps 8 of any suitable configuration and any ofsuitable material are'employed for providing a connection between thefiesh and the support 1 and said tabs orflaps 8 are formed preferablywith an adhesive face which is pressed into contact with the flesh, asin Fig. 1 of the drawmgs.

The upper ends of the tabs 8 carry suitable eyes or other fasteningmeans 9 with which are engaged the hooked or bent lower ends 10 of theadjusting rods or members 11, one positioned at each side of the facewith its upper end extending through the adjustable clamp 2.

In use, the support 1 is positioned over the head, preferably as in Fig.1, and the hair is brought back to overlie and conceal thesame. The tabs8 are adhesively applied one to each cheek preferably below the templeand immediately in front of each ear and the hooked portions 10 of theadjusting rods 11 are passed through the loops or eyes 9. When in thisposition, the flesh of the cheeks is raised, which permits of thepassingupwardly of the members 11 through the adjusting clamps 2 untilthe skin is suficiently stretched underneath the c'hin to eliminate theflabby portion which forms the commonly termed double chin. Theconstruction of the clamps 2 being such as to prevent the free downwardmovement of the members 11 relatively thereto until such time as theinner tubular shell 4 of the respective. clamps is raised, releasing theclamplng balls 5 from'contact with the beveled surface 6.

- ters Patent is pose comprising a su 1. An apparatus for the describedpurport for passing transversely over the hea and terminating at itsends adjacent the cheeks, an adjusting clamp associated with theopposite ends of said support, an adjusting rod associated Witheachclamp, and a member associated with each rod for detachably securing tothe cheeks.

2. An apparatus for the described purpose comprising a curved metallicmember providing a support and adapted for positioning transversely ofthe head with its opposite ends'terminating one adjacent each cheek, anadjusting clamp associated With each end of said support, an adjustingrod associated with each clampand each provided with a hook at its lowerend, and a member associated with each rod and each having an adhesivesurface for application FRANCIS M.
